Review: The Meat Co.

26 Apr

While Cheeky was visiting Kuwait a couple of weeks ago, we decided to have The Meat Co. for lunch with a close friend. It was my first time to try out this place, but remembering my past wonderful experience at Tribes in Dubai, I was kinda excited…and hungry!

My first impression was that the place looked big enough, very well decorated and neat! I opened the menu and started drooling over all the types of meat they had, I honestly was too hungry to decide, so I had to choose something that I already know and can’t go wrong with, which was the mini burgers. Sadly, mine were tasteless and lacking sauce!

On the other hand, Cheeky went for the salad only! Like seriously, who would go to a restaurant that is specialized in MEAT and have only salad? Yep…Cheeky would :P

Our friend was a bit braver than Cheeky and ordered the cheese burger. She said she would give it a 7/10, I think that’s good enough for a cheese burger

As for the appetizer, we shared the prawns, not sure what was the order name, but it was delicious, especially that it was a little bit spicy.

Review: The Breakfast Club

10 Apr

Cheeky visited Kuwait during the weekend and it was time for us to catchup and do some fun stuff! we finally managed to have a full day of food and activities along with a good friend of ours which was so much fun :D one of those places was the Breakfast Club where we decided to start our day with a good breakfast. It was our first time to try the place as we heard so many reviews about it, and as we are both good fans of omelets, then we had to try this place ourselves.

Our first impression wasnt so good cuz of the place it was located at! Its located in Fintas, and we don’t mind the area at all, however, the place is between a lot of residential buildings, which doesn’t give you a good view at all, and it can get a bit uncomfortable if you are sitting outside.

Now back to the food, the menu doesn’t have a lot of varieties, but they are definitely good enough for different tastes, I went with the American breakfast (you can never go wrong with that), Cheeky went for something more healthy with the white omelet, and our friend went straight to dessert with some good old pancakes.

American Breakfast:

I would have changed a couple of things about my dish but I guess I was too hungry to care. I would have had scrambled eggs instead and something else instead of the beans, overall the meal was really good and satisfying.

White Omelet:

Cheeky said that she enjoyed her meal a lot, it was very light and tasty along with their white tea also.

Pancakes:

I honestly prefer my pancakes to be very soft and slightly sweet, these were a bit crunchy and extra grilled I believe, but they still taste good, so its just a matter of preference :)

Overall, we liked the place, we enjoyed our time there, the staff was very friendly and I would probably be more excited about visiting again if they open a new branch somewhere better :)

Me & The Pets

9 Apr

As you all know by now that I LOVE animals, almost all types of animals, picky about some and scared of others, but I love them in general. And as much as I do, sadly I never got the chance to raise any during my childhood, I only had a cat almost 7 years ago where I had to give it away after my parents were very bothered by the hair it was leaving on the furniture, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was the best cat that anyone could have.

2 Years ago, my best friend got me a baby hamster, he was adorable, I freaked out a little bit in the beginning ( I never had a hamster before) but before I knew it, I was getting attached and loving having him around (seems like am talking about a human being I know :P) he was very playful, active, friendly and funny! he lived 2 happy years and passed away! it was very sad cuz there was nothing I could do, part of me wanted him to die cuz I didn’t want him to suffer for too long.

After that, I decided that I don’t wanna have pets for a while (still recovering from the last loss :P) untill one day my brother surprised me with another hamster! was I ready? am not sure, but I got caught up and got excited and decided to keep him straight away. The problem is that he’s nothing like the hamster that I had before! he’s not as friendly, he’s always hiding in his house, he eats ALOT and gained a lot of weight! so I cant hold him, I cant play with him, so it’s almost pointless, I just put him in his plastic ball and watch him move around like an airhead.

But that all changed when I finally got a kitten :D I did say how much I love animals, but there’s nothing like cats! I just adore them and call them MY people :P so this cat is so crazy that you can even imagine! he’s VERY hyper, active and playful to an extreme that its hard for me to keep up with him! and for that reason, I have called him “Messi”, he plays football better than the real one :P he does a lot of stupid moves that cracks the family up, but whenever he’s tired and sleepy, he becomes this fury ball of purr that just wants to cuddle. I know he looks angry and scary in the above picture, but hes nothing like that :P

So that’s basically my pet family! do you have any? share your stories with us :)

tiger stripes – life’s perspectives

21 Mar

so.. i came across this photo.. and I have to say… its so inspiring!!!

not only to lose weight (what girl doesn’t want that flat belly?) ;p

but inspiring in terms of changing the way you see things..

as somebody who’s been concerned about body image since i was about 16 (10 long years ago) ;p

i have acquired some stretch marks – and i do obsess about how they are ugly..

but.. now.. after seeing this.. they somehow don’t bother me so much..

but it kinda also helps you realise that your perception is sometimes more important than reality..

and the way you carry yourself and the confidence you have in your supposed flaws.. helps shape who you are..

so here’s to changing our perspectives.. a little bit more positively…
